hbartle / Stewart_Platform

Matlab GUI to calculate and visualize the inverse kinematics of a rotary stewart platform.

Stewart Platform

This is a MATLAB application that demonstrates the inverse kinematics behind a Stewart Platform. Features (master):

• Calcualte geometry and movement of stewart platform autonomously
• Draw platform interactivly in a MATLAB GUI

In the "feature_devices" branch the GUI has the following additional features:

• Control of real Stewart Platform out of the MATLAB GUI
• Feeding the movement calculation with sensor data from an IMU, for example a smartphone over UDP

Installation

With Git

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/hbartle/Stewart_Platform.git

Add func/ to the Matlab path:

(matlab) pathtool

The GUI is started by Matlab commandline or through GUIDE.

(matlab) stewart_platform.m

or

(matlab) guide stewart_platform.fig

With Matlab-App

Download the packaged app from the Matlab App repositories and install it into MyApps.
